You should NEVER use a jaw puller on the rim of the flywheel! That is a good way to break the flywheel. The three holes in the hub were there to use thye proper puller. You will not risk breaking the flywheel with the proper style puller. If you don't know what you are doing, check the Tecumseh service manual for proper instructions.
@MilkCrateGarage
@MilkCrateGarage 24 дня назад
I have since purchased the correct puller. To be fair, if you don't have a caveman approach, there is minimal risk to doing things with a 3 jaw puller and a tap on the puller shaft to break the tapered joint loose.
@themasterpackrat
@themasterpackrat 23 дня назад
@@MilkCrateGarage I am glad that you got the correct puller. I guess you never had a flywheel that was very tight and did not want to come off. As you stated, it is getting hard to find parts for these engines, so it is important to do the job correctly. I have been doing small engine repair for over 50 years, and I have never thought about using a jaw type puller. I have seen pictures of the flywheel loose (broken) and the hub still stuck tight to the crankshaft from using a jaw type puller!

What spark plug are you using? I can feel a current flowing through the wire but don’t see anything out the spark plug.

Oh, I love it. The 1971 opel was the Car And Driver 'Car of The Year', and the first car I owned. I bought it in 1976, for 700 dollars cash, with 100K miles. I drove the hell out of it until 1983; when the differential locked up. I was on Long Beach Blvd, and it squeeled to a stop. I wish I kept it, I miss it. You never see them anymore, but it was a great Car. Mine was Rallye RED with flat black hood and stripes.

@MilkCrateGarage
@MilkCrateGarage 6 месяцев назад
The Vega input shaft has a larger diameter, I'm not sure if the seal is the same as the Opel GT one. But I would call Opel GT Source and ask for Gil, he has all of the seals.

Good going guys, I had to replace a cracked head (1/16" gap between int./exh. valve #2 cyl.) on my '74 rallye which I got off a GT at the Rancho Cordova PicknPull. My friend had the metric allen socket for the head bolts. Most of the valves were pulling through the seats anyways. That's the same green as my first Manta back in 1985.

Ah, the 'ol familiar trans. whine when coming to a stop... Nice going, had a '74 Rallye years ago near there in Roseville that I drove up when I moved here to Seattle area & got around 31mpg. Sold it, now have a '74 Luxus & '75 Sportwagon. Bigger deal I see is the dealer installed A/C, does it work? And surprised the gauge cluster is still down with A/C, I have the '71-'73 vertical cluster (I think it's Euro. option?) that goes between driver door and inst. panel., but can't use it on mine because of the side vent. Some rallye's have LSD rearend as well as higher ratio. Maybe help Ken with muffler install? Thanks for posting, always nice to see one on the road!

The ARA AC does work! I found a place that had some R12 and it didn't leak out and the more we ran it the better it worked. I think the GM AC systems used the A pillar Rallye cluster, I've never actually seen one in person though. Let me know if you'd like to part with it!

Ah, the "Baby-Corvette" - the only Opel, i can respect. One of my Neighbours had one. I still like it, even its much slower then it looks. I have similar things on one of my older cars, i think it looks nice but it reduces the sight from the inside pretty much. Im sure you have a lot of fun with your pretty GT.

I had one I rode to high school in 1978 for awhile. I remember the 2 carburetor bolts loosening up on a return trip home... had to tighten them by hand & hold/push the carb against the engine to make it another mile home. Not a kick start model though.
@MilkCrateGarage
@MilkCrateGarage 10 месяцев назад
I haven't had that problem yet, thank goodness! The kick start is an aftermarket accessory made by Hagar4. They're still in business but not making kick starts.

It's begging for a LS motor 😀
@MilkCrateGarage
@MilkCrateGarage Год назад
I mean... If you want something that looks like a Corvette, but has an LS... Get a Corvette! These have very tight engine bays and you need to rebuild and re-engineer literally everything to get an LS to work. And you're left with a car that only goes in a straight line and is terrifying to drive. An easier route is to build a tube frame around an LS and get a fiberglass Opel GT shell. There's no sense in modifying an original rust-free car.
